Power outage and surge protection

The xControl LCD receives power via a serial connection to the NION RS-485 port. We make the following recommendations for the power source used with the NION:

• Use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect against power outages.
• Use a power surge protection device, such as a Surge-X. This provides protection from destructive spikes, surges and inductive transients.
